Im not suprised many find this odd. That commercial reminds me of popular trend of small indie films being made, which i have a hunch thats exactly what they were trying to emulate. Unfortunely a certain style of indie films being made by small groups today tend to be quite odd. I personally found the commercial fun to watch, then again i do work in the film industry so perhap that explains it.

sorry for what i said, i probably shouldnt have, but you can quit saying that. its completely unneeded and bringing urself lower than my level also would be unneeded...

but anyway back on topic.

why did sony think this was a good idea. espiecially after wii had that really good commerical with the business men

Sony is marketing for a different audience. When creating a commercial or ad campaign, the first thing you have to do is pick a target audience. They must have been aiming for a fairly small one in that commercial.

As this seems to be a regional commercial, its hard to say what they were thinking. But i wouldnt be suprised to see if they are merely testing to see how a region reacts to it. Like a prototype.

Im not really worried about Sony's strategies right now as well, its fairly pointless. Im sure Sony will become more aggressive and direct once their main games come out, until then its just playing around.

after doing some more research, its basically an ad promoting not so much the system as much as the magazine. The magazine is called Consoul and its euro branch is responsible for the art direction of the magazine. The german word on the bottom is JOY, either refering to the pregnancy test the woman is taking, or the fact shes enjoying relieving herself. Either way... this made me think of a joke. One thats just in bad taste...

European sounds "like you are peeing", there fore visa vi ergo... oh nvm you get where im going with this. When your in the bathroom you're european. sheesh...
